Pentagon Lifts Drone Technology Restrictions, Boosting U.S. Industry (WSJ. 202507011)

Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth has ordered the removal of any policies that slow down the development and deployment of Drones. That's according to a memo sent yesterday and viewed by The Wall Street Journal. The memo builds upon executive orders signed by President Trump last month, aimed at easing restrictions on U.S. made drones, and strengthening an industry that has struggled to compete with Chinese competitors. The order is expected to deliver a lift to defense technology companies specializing in drones and unmanned aerial vehicles. Ford Motor has recorded more safety recalls in the first six months of 2025 than any car company ever has in an entire calendar year. That's according to federal data. Yesterday, Ford issued a recall of 850,000 pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles because of a potential fuel pump failure. Overall, recalls across the auto industry have been rising with more than 1000 recorded in 2024 compared with roughly 800 a decade earlier. And President Trump is threatening to withhold his endorsement from any Republican senators who oppose the White House's 9.4 billion dollar package of DOGE cuts turning a planned vote next week into an explicit loyalty test. The proposal would codify some spending cuts made by the Trump administration as part of its Department of Government Eefficiency push effectively asking lawmakers to reverse spending they previously voted into law.

미 국방부가 드론 개발 및 배포에 방해되는 정책을 모두 제거하라고 명령함. 이번 트럼프 행정명령은 미국 드론 규제를 완화하고 중국 대비 드론 산업 경쟁력을 강화하기 위한 조치임. 이에 따라 드론 및 무인 항공기에 특화된 국방 기술 업체에 대한 규제가 완화될 예정임. 한편, 자동차 업체 Ford Motor가 올해 상반기에 850,000대 차량을 리콜했음. 이번 리콜 수는 자동차 산업 전체 기준 1년 전 1000대, 10년 전 800대 대비 상당히 증가했음. 한편, 트럼프 대통령은 DOGE(정부효율부) 94억 달러 예산 삭감에 반대하는 공화당 상원의원에 대해 본인의 지지를 철회하겠다고 협박하며, 차주 예정된 표결이 트럼프 행정부에 대한 충성도 테스트가 되었음. 이번 법안은 예전에 상원의원들이 찬성해 통과시킨 법을 사실상 반대하라고 요구하는 것임
